Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES

As incredibly disappointing as it is, there is NO gimmick to The Jet Engine Car. It's also incredibly squashed and tiny compared to its big bulky TVS Counterpart which is just slightly taller, thanks to the two smaller jets, than Thomas.

Exactly as I thought. Whatever happened to Tecology or button cell batteries? Surely the Blastbooster-7 could've had at least one bulb if not all three thrusters. Not to mention, it would've made so much more sense if they reused the chassis from Ace's flatbed or similar (I forgot the original was not a conflat until I looked at it again).

On another note: I believe I finally (sort of) get why Kenji is a pull back. They most likely did it so he could be much faster than Thomas without using a 2 speed DU, because a mainspring can provide more velocity than one battery. That, or it was done so he could gradually slow down and stop by himself (something the battery engines take hours to do) to simulate how he had no electricity. If so, then I take back what I said earlier because it's fairly creative.
